SUMMARY:Can we BioTechnologically Construct a Morally Better Human?
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I comparatively analyze traditional indirect means of moral enhancement\, such as moral education within families and wider societies\, with direct biotechnological means that affect a moral agent’s cognitive and emotive capacities. I raise several concerns with the latter and call for enhancing traditional methods of moral education. Nevertheless\, certain methods of bioenhancement could facilitate\, and not undermine\, one’s agency\, autonomy\, and authenticity by aligning their first- and second-order desires. Yet\, even if there are principled reasons to allow for\, or even encourage\, such forms of moral bioenhancement\, there are various practical concerns that may be insurmountable when such means are made available on the open market. \nThis is the third lecture in a series delivered by the Aquinas Institute visiting fellow Professor Jason Eberl\, Saint Louis University. \nTo register\, follow the link
